BIG VEssEL.-in the Pts account of
the measurmen of the new schooner
Kitsap, just built at Port Ludlow, by
Typographical blunder (Which we have
taken pains to correct in reproducing
the vessel was given rs 1882 feet long, 405
feet beam, and 100 feet deep. The P.-I.
sagely remarks that with her immense
breadth of beam she will carry a tremend-
Gus deck load. Well. we rather remark.
1t would require all the mills on the
Sound to load her, and the only hIrbor
where water enough TO float her
could be found would be iD Tacoma
where 600 feet depth Is reported at low
tide. An ARGUS reporter called at the
custom house and secured the correct
measurment.

Stockand played and sang, and the
meeting closed with the dOXology and
benediction by Rev. J \. Denison. At
tendance was good and interest is grow
ing. 1t is likely that the programme will
be varied hereafter each Sunday after
noon by readings and recitations. The
women's auxiliary is also taking up the

Nj. &. 4. building to be one of the orua-
ments on University Hill some of these
